9. Jamison Gibson-Park-5
JGP wasn’t firing on all cylinders and it really showed. His kicks were average at best and his distribution was wayward at times. Even when he’s not his best he still massively helps his side to get back into the game.
10. Finn Russell-6
Russell’s kicking game was a tail of two stories. His goal kicking wasn’t anywhere near as good as he’d expect but his kicking to the corner was utterly world-class. His distribution and ball playing was as tight as always and he orchestrated the Lions’ attack really well.
11. James Lowe-4
Lowe has looked off the tempo in both tests and today was another story of that. He never got going and was exposed hugely in defence. In attack he was nothing to fear for the Wallabies apart from his assist for Beirne.
12. Bundee Aki-6
Aki looked much better in the second half with him going back to his old traditional routes of play. He was used as a battering ram and he did it to a great level gaining some really vital yards for the Lions.
13. Huw Jones-7
Jones was excellent and he’d been arguably one of the best players of the tour before this. First half he was a mixed bag but in the second half he came alive and made a huge impact especially in attack.
14. Tommy Freeman-5
Freeman was never afforded the time and space to get going in attack and was punished for poor discipline with a yellow card in the first half. Freeman would’ve wanted to see more of the ball but he can’t complain defensively.
15.Hugo Keenan-7
The series-winning try came from a man who rarely put a foot wrong. In the backfield he was hounded with kicks which he dealt with aptly and he looked electric in attack to create a great overall performance.
